march 2nd ~ sigh ~

why sigh?... well... if u had a laptop as shitty as mine... you'll be sighing... maybe i should stop calling names... perhaps it'll actually do its job... well... whats the problem... its the power socket... i dunno who designed this.. but just by the looks at it.. u can tell there are serious problems.. obviously those designing it have not realized that cantilevering cannot be held up by a 'solder' joint... duh!!!

anyways.. i've taken apart my laptop... yes.. me... twice tonight... first.. time.. i thought i had fixed it.. so.. reassembled it back... only to find out that it was loose again... alright.. fine.. i was mad, but maybe i was inexperienced.... so i attempted yet again... this time.. very carefully doing a good job... and it was a good joint... soldered well.. hard.. stiff... let it cool ... then put the laptop together ... so.. u would think after 2 times... it would be fixed... and.. what do i find out...?

the joint falls apart AGAIN!!!! ... well.. i think right now... i'm just gonna leave it... i'll fix it only when i really have to... its only cus its loose that the power sometimes charges battery.. sometimes doesnt... so.. i'll just work with it... be good to it... and.. hopefully it'll be good to me...

there is serious design problems with how the socket is held in place... the wire/plug that u attached is way to big... heavy ... and the LITTLE part that's inside the laptop that holds the plug is way to small... in terms of balance... just a little common sense would tell u that the heavy side will weigh things down.. thus causing the LITTLE part to tip towards the heavy part.. and come loose.... geez.. doesnt take a wiz to figure it out...

so... after all this venting... it does the problem no good... just wanted to say how many shitting products are out on the market today.. and... u just CANNOT... (no matter how hard u try).. avoid buying something that is shitty... why are ppl so irresponsible?... this is why we have garbage... (ok.. i'll stop... or else i'll end up bashing everything..)

so.. what do i need right now?... a nice massage would be nice... definitely cheer me up... or... just someone to lend a hand to me... and... practically this week has been shitty... and the only thing that lifted my spirits.. see below:

my new boots!!! i absolutely love them!.. it was time.. i broke my boots (ten years old... so long.. bye bye)... i really did some bad damage to them last week in italy... so.. here.. my replacement :)
a close up of the detail on the side... love it :P
its actually a really good price for leather boots... its so soft.. u have to feel it... the quality is amazing... and.. price too ... ok.. just talking about this makes me all happy again... i need more of this... (looks like its shopping for me tomolo... haha.. joking)

oh... i should also take the opportunity to wish some happy birthdays...
5th - laura... first birthday as laura borowiec...(so i heard u have good news?)
8th - janine... i'm glad jay is back for your birthday... looks like you'll have souvenirs and b-day presents... sweet!!!
9th - anita... hope all is going well ... with work mostly... hope u can take vacation and go to japan la... but if not... the money u save will get u your car quicker!!!

and.. more to come.. i'll send wishes later la :P (bye)
